348--Since Christ my soul from sin set free,

Since Christ my soul from sin set free,

348

	1.	Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
		This life has been a joy to me;
		And 'mid earth's sorrows and its woe,
		'Tis joy my Jesus here to know.
		O hallelujah, yes, 'tis joy!
		For it is Christ that I enjoy!
		On land or sea, what matters where?
		Where Jesus is, my joy is there.
	2.	The earth was once a bitter place
		Till Jesus showed His smiling face;
		Now joy's begun within my soul,
		'Twill last while endless ages roll.
	3.	What matters where on earth we dwell?
		On mountain top, or in the dell,
		In cottage, or a mansion fair,
		Where Jesus is, my joy is there.
